Hôtel Anne de Bretagne is a modest, welcoming three-star hotel in the centre of Blois, at 31 avenue du Docteur Jean Laigret. It has twenty-nine rooms for up to sixty-five guests, described as comfortable, country-style and personalised, with single, double, twin, triple and quadruple rooms, so it works for solo travellers, couples and families. The hotel sits in front of Victor Hugo park and a short walk from the train station, with the royal château about six hundred metres away, and the old town and the House of Magic close by. There is a bar and a terrace, free wifi, a bicycle shelter and luggage storage, and some rooms are adapted for guests with reduced mobility. It is a practical, good-value base for anyone planning to see Blois, Chambord and Cheverny.
Location and getting around
Blois is the best-placed town for Chambord and Cheverny, and this hotel is easy to reach by train from Tours and Amboise, then a short walk from the station. The château, the cathedral and the old town are all within walking distance, and the Loire is close. For Chambord and Cheverny you will need a car, a taxi or a tour, as local buses are limited in winter.
The rooms and facilities
Rooms are simple and comfortable rather than luxurious, and sizes vary, so ask for a quiet room facing the park if you are a light sleeper. Family travellers can book triple and quadruple rooms, and there are cots, high chairs and a changing table for babies.
Breakfast is available for an extra charge and is not included in the room rate, so decide whether to eat here or at a bakery in town. Parking is nearby rather than on site, so ask the hotel what is best on arrival. Pets are not accepted.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits travellers who want a central, friendly base at a fair price, cyclists who value a bicycle shelter, and anyone using public transport. The rates are moderate and vary by room and season, with the best prices in low season. Blois itself is a quiet town in winter, so book restaurants for the evening, and check the château hours before you plan your day. The tourist tax is charged in addition to the room rate.
